Nike Air Zoom Vomero 12

Nike Running 's iconic Air Zoom Vomero has reached its twelfth edition in the competitive segment of top-of-the-line running shoes for neutral runners. The Nike Air Zoom Vomero 12 continues to show its outstanding evolution, delivery after delivery, and in direct competition with reference models such as the ASICS Gel Nimbus 19, the adidas Ultra Boost, the Mizuno Wave Rider 20, the Saucony Triumph ISO 3, or the New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 v7, among others.

Thus, the Nike Air Zoom Vomero 12 stands out for offering a more cushioned, softer and lighter feel, and as the North American company points out, this model is designed to help the runner togo further on long distance runs.

Lighter and more responsive cushioning

The renewed Nike Air Zoom Vomero 12 does not entail any radical change with respect to its previous versions, but there are a series of relevant improvements compared to the Vomero 11. Thus, the midsole of the twelfth version of the Air Zoom Vomero continues to use Lunarlon foam in double density: on the one hand, the firmer material is reserved for the rear part of the foot, and a softer material is included in the forefoot part. The purpose is none other than to provide a smoother transition in the different phases of the stride.

Not to mention that Nike Running 's characteristic Zoom Air units are still present both in the forefoot and in the heel area. With these additions, the Nike Air Zoom Vomero 12 guarantees lighter and more responsive cushioning. Ideal for faster running without sacrificing comfort and a smoother ride.

The Flymesh system has also been revised in order to offer a better fit in the metatarsal and phalangeal area, but at the same time provide the necessary support and breathability of the shoe. In addition, the comfort section is reinforced with softer ankle materials and a foam tongue, which, apart from cushioning, also reduces the pressure of the laces. Speaking of laces, the Flywire system reduces the number of cables to 4, which favors a more personalized fit.

The Nike Air Zoom Vomero 12 sole does not change the configuration of the transversal grooves in the forefoot area of the shoe, giving it greater flexibility and momentum in the toe-off phase. The detail that does change is the inner pattern, which is intended to add to the cushioning capacity of the Vomero 12. And of course, the evolution that stands out is the BRS 1000 compound, whose mission is to extend the lifespan of the model.

Highlights of the Nike Air Zoom Vomero 12

• Three-quarter inner bootie to wrap the foot, and dispense a very sock-like fit.
• Dual-density midsole with soft Lunar core and more solid Cushlon support that provides a gradual transition
• Mesh upper helps keep your feet cool
• Flywire cables that integrate with the laces for a secure fit

All in all, the Nike Air Zoom Vomero 12 is the most comfortable version of the entire saga, as it includes more responsiveness and cushioning than its predecessors, resulting in a shoe with a softer, more comfortable ride for faster running.

The technical specifications of this top-of-the-range training shoe for neutral runners establish a 10-millimeterdrop and weights of 312 grams for the men's version and 267 grams for the women's model.
